He talks about flying in Australia where he&#8217;d planned to buy a tourism flying business and how things changed. And flying in Papua New Guinea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And then he ended up purchasing a Lake Buccaneer in New Zealand and he took it up to Vanuatu and achieved his lifelong dream of becoming a flying boat pilot in the Pacific, just like Jake Cutter in one of his favourite childhood television shows, <em>Tales of the Gold Monkey<\/em>, and the 1992 film <em>Porco Rosso<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Paul has some wonderful adventure stories and ells of some seriously scary moments in the air, in Japan and in the Pacific. He has real insight into the joys of flight too. So sit back and listen to the stories of Seaplane Paul. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a
